Best Gaming Rig/Build for Battlefield 3

Details, please people, details!

My computer is stuffed with an i5 @ 3.30GHz, 8.00 GB of RAM, and an nVidia GeForce 9800 GT graphics card. Overall, it's really outdated, but BF3 runs fine on medium to high and most other games on high or ultra settings.

The CPU is good, the 8GB of RAM is decent, but I'd prefer a GeForce GTX 690, and maybe a SSD or a hybrid drive.

And of course, probably the best thing about Intel CPUs, besides the speed, is the ability to make a Hackintosh.

So what are your computers stuffed with and what is the best build for running Battlefield?

Problems? Yes; elaborate more? How well does an ATI radeon 4890 play Battlefield with 4GB of RAM? Low, medium, high settings? The i5 and i7 processors are one notch away, and not much of a difference unless you get to the numbers and statistics.

As famed 19th century American author Mark Twain wrote, "'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.'"

Stay civil, my friend. This is a discussion, not a bragging competition.

I am totally satisfied with my well performing, few quality possessions that I have and do not hold on to them like a drowning man to air or a deluded fool to "his" or "her" material possessions. And do not need any more. It makes the shelves and closets cluttered. I have a thing for clean, minimalism aesthetics.

All I can say to you guys is to at least learn what computer parts do what... First of all, the thing about Asus rampage is that you do not buy an Asus Rampage. There are much better motherboards than Asus Rampage at half the price.
Second, i7 860 @ 3.2GHz is nothing. Don't try to brag for big numbers. I have an i7 3770K @ 4.3 GHz and it is still not that good.
Third, a rig with SLI 690 would definitely be great but overkill. A single 690 can play any game out and any game that will come out for 1-2 years of time at max settings. All you would do is waste money even if this is a dream PC thread. Wasting money on something that doesn't make your performance go any higher than what is already max is worthless. And yes, as Snowbrdd said, 1500 is overkill for SLI. I have quad gpu's with 1500 W and I still have a bit more juice left. GTX 690 SLI needs a Power Supply of at least 950W. 950W should be more than enough for the other stuff you guys are putting in.

I had 3 ATI 6990's(Duel gpu = 6 gpu's) that only required 1200watt and could run that without too much problems, mind you at the time it was setup for bitcoin mining, I have since sold 2 of the 3 cards and kept just 1 6990 that play any game on the market today.
